clutch-monkey Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 turbo gives a satisfying shove in the back, and more flames n/a gives that throttle response and linear delivery don't make me choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted 11December, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 turbo gives a satisfying shove in the back, and more flames n/a gives that throttle response and linear delivery don't make me choose choose!!!!

9fan Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 Just can't decide at the Mo..................As long as it's a PORSCHE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 i had to resist the urge to add 'rainbow unicorn vtec' as an option :/ having never owned a turbo car I can't really comment, have driven quite a few and it'd be a quick way for me to lose my license Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 In 2000 a 993 turbo was about $20k more than a 4S and I figured I couldn't seriously exercise the power of a turbo. So I bought a 4S and for 4 or 5 years that was fine, eventually I learnt to drive a bit better and realised that the 4S was 150kg heavier than a 2S which contributed to my times. A little bit later I progressed to the stage of really using my car and realised it is possible to really thrash a Porsche, then I wished I'd bought the turbo.

T-Man Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 How about a TPC supercharger bolted on the 993. Very linear and progressive power increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberpunky Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 Turbo because boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 Turbo -= massive addictive shove from monster torque. Easy tuning for more grunt. First time Passengers give you a weird look when it's boosting hard......priceless. Having said that, N/A GT3 would be awesome - revs galore and oh that sound. And in the real world, GT3 is slightly slower in a drag race but as fast or faster round a track. Just realised my daily drive and my wife's plus my p car are all turbo'd - suppose I've voted with my wallet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 I have only owned one Turbo car in my life. I love them. I think my object of desire is a 996 turbo. I was having a conversation with a colleague last week and he was showing me pictures of his old black/black 996 turbo. This cemented things somewhat.

BAFE Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 N/A as I still feel it will have better longevity (probably wrong but that's how i feel) and ultimately I can buy a N/A car that will far outperform my ability so why pay more for a turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted 11December, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 Nothing will beat the sound of a high compression flat 6 at 7-8k rpm. Some say an NA is faster around a track ect because throttle response. Those who say that, aren't sure how to get a turbo around a track by getting onto the throttle earlier ect. The turbos just have their own personality. love hate thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg944 Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 Don't mind either, but prefer N/A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redracn Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 I found the question to hard to answer so I have both. Which one to take depends on the mood and type of drive. The sounds from and the looks on a passengers face when they go from 0 to 100+ in just over 3 seconds for the first time is priceless. (When the grip is available) In fact it would be rude to video them. The eyeball altering thrust is as addictive as it gets. Then there is the absolute precision of a tight chassis and a responsive NA. Problem is you need a closed targa road to get the most from it.

JV911 Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 where is the "both" option? n/a if I had to choose though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesb Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 n/a for the track and turbo for the street would be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 11December, 2014 Report Share Posted 11December, 2014 turbo gives a satisfying shove in the back, and more flames n/a gives that throttle response and linear delivery don't make me choose a decent modern turbo setup will do both. I voted turbo, because turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJM Posted 12December, 2014 Report Share Posted 12December, 2014 I'm thinking it depends on which car. In the impact bumper 911s (or 944 say) I'd take the turbo. There's just something about the 930. For the new ones 996 & on I'd take NA. GT3 for me please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
